Alocasia Golden Dragon is a striking tropical plant known for its large, uniquely shaped leaves with golden variegation. Here’s how to care for it:
 
1. Light
Prefers bright, indirect light.
Can tolerate some dappled sun but avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry.
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
3. Humidity
Loves high humidity (60%+).
Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or misting to maintain moisture levels.
4. Temperature
Thrives in warm temperatures (65-80°F or 18-27°C).
Avoid drafts, sudden temperature changes, and cold below 55°F (13°C).
5. Soil
Use a well-draining, rich soil mix (peat-based or aroid mix with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir).
6. Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer.
Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
7. Repotting
Repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound.
Choose a pot with good drainage.
8. Pests & Problems
Watch out for spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs—wipe leaves and use neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
If leaves turn yellow, check for watering issues or low humidity.
